Talk:Faten Hamama

Khul' Law
The article mentions that Khul' law was passed in Egypt immediately after 'I want a solution' movie was released. However, this is not completely correct. The khul' law was passed in Egypt in the late 1990s/Early 2000s as far as I remember, which is long after the movie was released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.131.86.194 (talk) 09:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Passed GA
The article looks very good; thanks for the diligent research! About the only suggestion I have for further improvement is that it'd be nice if there were a reference in the first paragraph of the "Accomplishments in Egyptian cinema" section, to back up the claim about what Egyptian cinema used to be like and how it was transformed during her acting career. Otherwise, looks very close to FA status to my eyes. --Delirium 23:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Delirium! I struggled for the research on this one; I literally used up every reliable online source. Thanks to the actress's official website administrator and the Egyptian Culture Fund group, I was able to get my hands on a book about the life of Faten Hamama, so the article has a big expansion coming and a whole lot of referencing to do. Thanks again. ← A NAS  Talk? 10:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Faten Wajhqamar.jpg
The image Image:Faten Wajhqamar.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Age error
"Hamama made her screen debut in 1939, when she was only nine years old." Is mathmatically impossible if her birth year (1931) is correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.139.67.70 (talk) 11:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Silly wording
In the death and funeral section: "Faten Hamama died on January 17, 2015, aged 83 due to health problems. Her son Tarek Sharif did not state the exact cause of death."

Then in the next section: "They resided in Cairo until her death on 17 January 2015 following a short illness"

That's a needlessly verbose and clumsy way of telling that we know almost nothing about the cause of death, other that it was natural. 89.134.220.47 (talk) 15:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
